Nestled in the heart of Hyde Park with an unrivalled view of the lake, the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen Menu offers a delightful escape from the city buzz, combining scenic tranquility with a solid dining experience. On a recent visit, I found the setting alone to be worth the stop-airy, vibrant, and ideal for a leisurely breakfast or casual lunch.
The menu strikes a careful balance between seasonal British favourites and all-day café classics. For breakfast, the smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs was both fresh and generously portioned, with a nice chili kick that added dimension. Lunch options included flatbreads, stone-baked pizzas, and hearty salads. I sampled the roasted chicken Caesar salad-crisp romaine, warm chicken breast, and just the right amount of anchovy-laced dressing. Their wood-fired pizza was another standout: thin crust, blistered edges, and simple toppings that didn’t overwhelm the base.
Vegetarian and vegan diners will appreciate the effort to include diverse options like the plant-based burger and roasted vegetable couscous. That said, the menu doesn’t try to be overly complex-it’s more about consistency and comfort than culinary innovation.
Service was efficient, even on a busy weekend. While prices reflect the central location-expect to pay around £10-£15 for mains-the portions and park-front ambiance help justify the cost. Coffee was decent, though not exceptional; however, the cakes and pastries at the counter make up for it with home-baked charm.
Compared to other park cafés in London, Serpentine Bar & Kitchen offers one of the better-curated menus for its setting. It's not fine dining, but it delivers on quality, atmosphere, and variety-making it an excellent choice for both locals and tourists looking to enjoy a relaxed meal with a view.
